Christian Counseling Fresno, TX. Find a Christian Therapist Near You.

While most Christian Counselors pride themselves on how many Scriptural passages they can recite and how many links they can make from the Bible to psychological disorders, the Christian-centric work of Grey Matters International, Inc.is grounded in one principle: truth. For us, the work is more about truth and transparency of Christ's message and working on the natural laws of accountability and decision making that evolves from that. If one honors God's natural laws of reaping and sowing around the decisions one makes, one is indeed living Scripture to its fullest. We prepare the brain to better maximize the spiritual realities of Christ's words. Contact kevin@kevinflemingphd.com.

Throughout both my personal and professional experiences, I have discovered a person's faith to be greatly empowering in working towards their goals. Having been involved in a variety of Christian ministries over the years, I welcome the invitation from my clients to explore their faith in session. For those who have requested this exploration, I have observed a greater freedom and renewed sense of purpose as they go through the therapy process.

Faith and prayer are an important part of every healthy life. In fact, as Catholic counselors faith and prayer are important aspects of our approach for counseling. These give people strength in times of brokenness, hope in despair, joy in the midst of trials, and clarity when you feel like your life is stuck in the fog. As counselors with Christian faith, we are especially capable of helping you grow spiritually as you heal from the past, examine the present, or look to the future. God is the same yesterday, today and forever—and our faith reminds us that He is with you always. So let’s work together, not only journeying to joy, but also journeying closer to God.

Is a Christian Counseling perspective important to you in therapy? As an experienced Christian Counselor and ordained pastor, over the last 15 years I’ve been blessed to help hundreds of men find hope and healing using both psychological and Biblical principles. I believe that Christ is the ultimate source of hope and healing in this life. But I also believe that he’s given us the gift of rational minds, able to discern scientific and psychological truths built into the fabric of His amazing creation. My approach is grounded firmly in Scripture, but I don’t use Scripture as a weapon. You don’t need more guilt, but rather, a reminder of God’s promises and a compassionate guide to support you.

Jewish clients can benefit profoundly from Jewish Counseling provided by a Jewish therapist who understands and respects their cultural and religious background. With a shared understanding of Jewish traditions, values, and beliefs, the therapist can offer a unique perspective that resonates with the client's worldview. This facilitates a deeper connection and trust between therapist and client, enabling the exploration of spiritual and existential concerns within the context of Judaism. Through this culturally sensitive approach, Jewish clients can find solace, clarity, and healing that aligns with their religious and cultural identity.

Our deepest wounds are often those that are at the hands of another person. Human brokenness is the root of our need for redemption. This holds true in therapy and growth work as well. When we encounter our deep wounds, we encounter our need for our Big God. Here, we are able to reconcile the broken our hurt parts of our ourselves.

Faith is an integral part of my practice. For me, all the best counseling techniques and coping skills in the world are not enough without God. Our relationship with God can become complicated and confusing at times. Sometimes it feels like He isn't even there. It's okay to feel angry or abandoned by God. But when you turn to Him he does hear you. My counseling is not a bible study, but bringing Christ into my sessions is important to me.

I believe Spirituality and your access to or dislocation from, in large part determine the success of your personal Recovery. I always screen for my Client's Spiritual beliefs upon introduction. My personal walk with Jesus Christ has convicted me of the Healing power which exists and comes from alignment with God.

Faith and spirituality can provide comfort and meaning to those guided by their beliefs. I was raised in a Christian household myself so I have an appreciation for the values instilled by religion, the importance of tradition, and the strength of community. My approach to counseling is humanistic and welcoming of all spiritualities. Though I do not incorporate any specific pastoral counsel, I encourage my spiritual clients to draw on their beliefs during the counseling process.

Do you find yourself asking ‘but what does God say’ or ‘is this in alignment with what it means to be Christian’ when it comes to therapy? The honest truth is sometimes as a therapist, if I am working with a client who has said Christianity is foundational to who they are, I will ask “do you want to hear the words of therapy right now or the words of the Bible?” There are times when the therapy of the world is different than the call on our life or being a Christian. It is not my practice to ever tell you what to do. I will give you information and the choice is yours. My practice is one where truth, grace and mercy are ever present. If you have questions, contact me and let’s talk.

As a practicing Christian, I can incorporate spirituality into your session. I recognize prayer as a powerful tool and comfortable using it if requested. I strive to incorporate mind, body and spiritual healing as the ultimate wellness state. Acknowledging God as our healer is a concept that I believe and therefore feel is important. Wherever you are in your faith journey, you will be respected.
